Fantastic book! The cover of this gem doesn’t do this book justice. The story has so many great treasures inside it. I think it’s a story to reflect upon, a story not of itself but a story that allows you to take what you have read and enjoy the words that Charlie has written.
The story begins with the author’s narrative about the book and what he hoped to accomplished. Although, he states that you can start anywhere in the book, the beginning of the book makes more sense as there is a storyline that you can follow. I do understand what the author means by starting anywhere in the book, so let me explain. If you open just about any of the pages in this book, you will find a meaningful quote either by the boy, the mole, or the horse. The fox does speak but he’s a quiet fox for the most part. Just opening the book to any page, you can a great quote and you can start reading the book from this quote or you can just enjoy this quote. “Life is difficult-but you are loved.” “Isn’t it odd. We can only see our outsides, but nearly everything happens on the inside.” “When the dark clouds come…….keep going.” Such meaningful great quotes! Enjoy them separately or if you read the whole story, you’ll experience a truly rich story that once you finish the book, you’ll want to open it back up to reread some of those great quotes again.
There’s some simple art work added to the pages to enhance the story and as a whole, this book is truly a great story. It’s a sweet story of how these four characters together, search for answers. I like how they encourage each other and are there for one another. It’s not a book to rush through but one to savor and enjoy. I think this would make a fantastic coffee table book as there’s something in it for everyone. I’m definitely adding it to my table. I highly recommend this one, go check it out!
